lyrics

When Am Heh rises
He Brings only death
The millions cowering
Are swallowed up in one breath
Will you be hiding
When he will eat you?
Jaws on each horizon
Earth erupts beneath you.

Hear the sound
Drowns you out
No one hears
Your last shout

When Am heh rises
The fissures will unfold
Splitting Cairo straight in two
They fall into the maw below

Feel the earth tremble
As he awakens
With a god’s hunger
Consumes the forsaken

You’re all lost
In the eyes
Of the devourer

A million men makes a meal
Watch them all tumble down
Kingdoms fall, in a gulp
Drink the Nile to wash them down

Drink the Nile

Perish within

Burn

In the pyre of his
Throat you see the sun
Extinguished as he
Reels you in on his
Tongue the fumes melts your
Skin as you all drown
In a black sea of
Writhing old and young
Taken in with the
Tide you find you are
Inside his stomach
All you know has gone dark

When Am Heh rises
He Brings only death
The millions cowering
Are swallowed up in one breath

They kneel before him
Lest the earth begin to swell
The land will rise
The sea will fall
And all you love returns to hell
